It was pretty crude when we started." So crude that every major label took a pass. Things only got worse when Limp Bizkit, Korn and other fusion groups hit the charts with a similar musical formula.

Immunologists' only hope of closing those loopholes was to delve more deeply into the exquisite complexity of the immune system in an effort to understand its secrets...
...invading bugs are too powerful for this first line of defense, the immune system sends in a second wave of cells. These represent what is known as the innate immune system. Unlike the first wave of defenders, which are crude killing machines, these cells are preprogrammed with biochemical weapons that can target specific types of invaders, including common viruses like influenza and rhinovirus (which causes the common cold...
